Since I was visiting Wisconsin Dells in the offseason, I had limited options of what I could knock off the bucket list, especially things that were open early. I got hot chocolate, checked the root beer museum, and still had some time to kill before I headed to the zoo, so I stopped at Parson’s Indian Trading Post and Museum.
Parson’s Indian Trading Post and Museum is located just off the strip on Wisconsin Dells Parkway as you head towards Lake Dalton and Baraboo. It is open 9-5 daily. There is a parking lot. It has been around since 1918.
The building looks run down compared to most of the shiny new buildings of the Dells but it adds to the charm of the place. It does look like an Indian Trading Post you would see in the Southwest.
Inside is dimly lit but not dark and dingy. It is full of artifacts and souvenirs. I really wanted to check out the artifacts but since I was the only one in there at the moment, I just kind of browsed. The owner was very friendly and I had a nice, brief chat with him.
I did not buy anything but hopefully one day I'll take the hubby in Parson’s Indian Trading Post and Museum. He'll love all the arrowheads. I would love a silver ring.
If you are looking for an unique souvenir or some Native American jewelry, check out Parson’s Indian Trading Post and Museum. It is worth the visit.
